I'm looking for examples of large websites that are hosted on Amazon EC2/S3/Cloudfront/etc.
I worked at a company where we ran a site that did 500k unique visitors per month on EC2 running 10 instances but that's still relatively small potatoes compared to some larger sites. I know smug mug and foursquare are also hosted on EC2. What other large websites are on EC2?
